Subject: GOOD DAY
Assalamu alaikum,
This mail may not be surprising to you if you have been following current
events in the international media with reference to the Middle East and
Palestine in particular. I am Mrs. SUHA ARAFAT, the wife of YASSER ARAFAT,
the Palestinian leader who died recently in Paris. Since his death and
even prior to the announcement, I have been thrown into a state of
antagonism,confusion, humiliation, frustration and hopelessness by the
present leadership of the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the new
Prime Minister. I have even been subjected to physical and psychological
torture. As a widow that is so traumatized, I have lost confidence with
everybody in the country at the moment. You must have heard over the
media reports and the Internet on the discovery of some fund in my husband
secret bank account and companies and the allegations of some huge sums of
money deposited by my husband in my name of which I have refused to
disclose or give up to the corrupt Palestine Government. In fact the
total sum allegedly discovered by the Government so far is in the tune of
about $6.5 Billion Dollars. And they are not relenting on their effort to
make me poor for life. As you know, the Muslem community has no regards for
woman, hence my desire for a foreign assistance. You can visit the cbs
news broadcast below for better nderstanding of what I am talking about;
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/11/07/60minutes/main582487.shtml I have
deposited the sum of 20 million dollars with a security firm abroad whose
name is withheld for now until we open communication. I shall be grateful
if you could receive this fund into your bank account for safe keeping and
any Investment opportunity. This arrangement is known to you and my
personal Attorney.He might be dealing with you directly for security
reasons as the case may be. In view of the above, if you are willing to
assist for our mutual benefits,we will have to negotiate on your
Percentage share of the 20,000,000 million dollars that will be kept in
your position for a while and invested in your name for my trust pending
when my Daughter, Zahwa, will come off age and take full responsibility of
her Family estate/inheritance. Note that if you are honest, I am going to
entrust more funds in your care as this is one of the legacy we keep for
our children. In case you don't accept please do not let me out to the
security and international media as I am giving you this information in
total trust and confidence I will greatly appreciate if you accept my
proposal in good faith. Please expedite action.
Yours sincerely,
Hajia (Mrs.) Suha Arafat.
